4:00 am
in the show. >> thank you, troy. and thank you so much for sharing your time with us this morning. next hour of "new day" starts right now. bill cosby in his own words, the new court documents describing his sexual pursuits, the money, the prescription drugs and hiding it all from his wife. we have pretty shocking testimony. sorrow from the family of the chattanooga footer. for the first time mohammad youssuf abdulazeez's family comes forward. as we learn more about the shooter's state of mind even hours before the first gunshots. and donald trump igniting a new firestorm by taking aim at the senator he once supported. he's not questioning whether or not. he's straight out saying john mccain is not a war hero. so grateful to have your company. we're starting this morning
4:01 am
with these new revelations in the bill cosby saga from cosby himself. this comedy legend reveals in his own words how he pursued younger women for sexual relationships all while trying to keep it all a secret from his wife. >> this new information coming from the new york sometimes after it obtained the full transcript from a deposition given decades ago. the times reports that cosby admitted to sexual relationships with at least five women. jean casarez joins us live from new york. cosby saying that the sex and drug taking were consensual. you've read through it. what strikes you most? >> reporter: cnn does not have the deposition. but the "new york times" have told cnn they have it. what we do know is that bill cosby is very descriptive, really particular in his words
4:02 am
talking about that at least five women that he had sexual, playful relationships with, all behind his wife's back. he also said it was all consensual, every single bit of it, that he had an eye for when a woman was going to consent to those things. and because he could see that and feel it, he would go forward with it. he also talks in great detail that he never had sexual intercourse with these women because he didn't want them to fall in love with him. he said he had joyful, playful times. and he would woo women. even one woman whose mother had cancer that he wooed her by acting concerned about her mother. he goes into great detail about andrea constand, the one come who came forward in 2005, saying it was unconsensual what bill cosby did to her. he said that it was consensual,
4:03 am
that it was a two-year-long relationship. and we know in her complaint which resulted in a sealed confidential settlement, she claims that he gave her pills and the next thing she knew he was awake without her clothes on and she felt there had been unlawful touching. remember, this is cosby's side to all of this. andrea constand gave a deposition also. that has not been unsealed. we don't know what that is. and that is the other side of the story. there is a court action going on right now to unseal this deposition, because in the eyes of at least andrea constand and some other jane does they believe this deposition has been sealed for the last ten years. it was part of that confidentiality settlement. for the last ten years that sat dormant somewhere that anybody could read it and nobody has, believing it was part of that agreement. >> i want to bring you criminal
4:04 am
defense attorney into the conversation. does this deposition change anything in the big picture? >> i think it certainly has the potential to do that. remember, we have several civil lawsuits pending. all of those people want to show that cosby intended to render them to a situation where they could not consent to sec. in other words, committed a criminal act of rape. if there's a pattern of him doing this in other cases -- and it looks like this deposition may prove that -- then that certainly is good evidence for these other lawsuits and may help them result in over a very substantial settlement or perhaps go to trial and end up in punitive damages. >> when we hear all of this information that he gave -- and some of it was really quite distasteful i think if people read it about his thoughts about what sex, you know, was, that it was playful -- he said something about wanting to keep people from falling in love with him.
4:05 am
i mean, what do you make of his mindset through all of that and how some of these women can move forward? >> i think what strikes me from the deposition is how descriptive he is, how much in detail he is. he had to say that, believing that it was going to remain sealed. because you can imagine ten years ago if this came to light. but on the other hand he says it's all consensual, but it was all behind the back of his wife, he says. now, we know one week ago the new york post cites a source close to camille saying she's known for years about her husband's infidelity and it's all consensual activity between he and the women. and now this comes to light which is basically professing the same thing in the eye's of bill cosby. >> but the lawsuit was settled under confidential terms.
4:06 am
that will never be revealed. >> the terms of the settlement are confidential in terms of how much money they paid and what they agreed on. what happened in the litigation does not necessarily have to be confidence. the judge can allow the deposition to be seen by people who are litigating against him now. normally those depositions are not filed. you can you can go down to the courthouse and get it. it's been filed. the only way he can get into criminal trouble is if he lies under oath. he has to tell everything. if he doesn't, then he can see himself in criminal court. >> i understand that criminally. but he has publicly come out, jean, and said that he didn't do anything wrong, he's been vehemently denying any wrongdoing. what does this do to him, this revelation?
4:07 am
>> reporter: reputation wise is one thing. legally is another thing. but he's very descriptive. and yes, originally when they did the deposition his attorney stopped him from answering many questions. and the attorney from andrea constand went to a judge and said, your honor, i'm conducting a deposition. the judge ordered him to answer the questions. this is the deposition where he did answer the questions. it's very descriptive. but he basically said it's consensual so he's not admitting any wrongdoing. >> the details are certainly alarming. appreciate your insight. thank you. this morning we're learning more about the gunman in that deadly shooting in chattanooga that killed five servicemen. the family of mohammad youssuf abdulazeez made a startling revelation about their son, that he was suffering from depression. they released a statement,
4:08 am
quote, the person who committed this horrible crime was not the son we knew and loved. for many years our son suffered from depression. it groieves us that his pain found expression in this heinous act of violence. he sent a text message to a friend. who so ever shows enmity to a friend of mine, i have declared war against him. a source tells cnn that the handgun was registered in his name and that he purchased at least one of the guns online. we're joined now by former fbi assistant director and senior law enforcement analyst tom fuentes. tom, i want to start with this revelation from the family about
4:09 am
depression. we must preface this entire conversation by saying that people who suffer from depression into not typically -- or their problems do not manifest themselves in this way. we do not want to mall liign pe with this. >> i think the parents are horrified by what happened. and we could understand that and we could sympathize with them if they had no clue this was coming. as you mentioned, thousands of people in this counted and all over the world suffer from depression. they goet treatment. they get medicine. it's a treatable problem. he had something going on in his head much more severe than simple depression. i think the parents, not being mental health professionals -- i'd like to know where they derived the term from. did a mental health professional tell them this is something he suffered from?
4:10 am
or are they trying to come up with this because he had problems as a kid? you know, i don't give much credence to their diagnosis that he was dprepressed. >> let's talk about the guns. there was a friend who spoke with the "washington post" who said that just like any typical chattanoo chattanoogan, christian or muslim, you're going to like to shoot guns. what have we learned? >> as mentioned, he may be just another one of the crowd that loves guns. in this country we have a gun culture and we have not made it really difficult for somebody to obtain particularly an assault rifle. he's not standing out in front of that facility or the two facilities with a pistol opening fire. we're looking at an assault rifle. you've seen the size of the bullet holes in the glass of the
4:11 am
first facility that he attacked. it's perfectly legal in this country. if you're not convicted of a crime, a felon, you're going to be able to buy a gun. he would have been able to walk out the door with an assault rifle. >> i wonder as this profile, the biography fills out and there's in reported interview with the head of the islamic center there in chattanooga who said they knew the father kind of, but they really didn't know mohammad youssuf abdulazeez because he really wasn't ever there. is this the typical picture of a jihadist or are we looking at something else? >> it can include this in the typical picture but so far what we've seen is there's no typical
4:12 am
picture. we have a kid basically from a middle class environment. he goes to a great university. he gets a degree in electrical engineering. this is not some loser in society who has decided to wage war because he's got nothing else going for him. this is one well educated who now at some point fancied himself an islamic scholar, which is not the case. but there's no typical profile yet and that's part of the problem in this. if he didn't express to somebody more than support of certain verses in the koran or certain believes, but if he didn't express specifically that he supported isis, that he believes in what they've done and he's going to carry out an act in favor of that, it's very difficult for the authorities. >> of course these attacks in chattanooga have states across the country reassessing their own security.
4:13 am
here's the question, do military recruitment centers need armed guards and bulletproof glass? and how soon could those step bs in place. . a suicide bombing and the death of more than 100 people in baghdad. and donald trump's newest attack, this one against senator john mccain, questioning if he's a war hero. the mercedes-benz summer event is here.

4:17 am
here are some of the pictures coming in. people obviously were crowding around, so hot there, thought they were going to get ice. the bomber blew up that truck, killed at least 120 people, injured 140 others. hundreds of people had been out shopping in that market on the eve of the holiday eid al fitr marking the end of ramadan. officials said there was one ton of explosives in this truck. help us understand what these folks are dealing with today. >> reporter: a truly devastating attack, something that even this nation for more than a decade now has been seeing this kind of violence and bloodshed on a daily basis is still shocked by this kind of level of attack and how it was carried out. what we do know from officials is that this suicide bomber drove this ice truck into a
4:18 am
crowded market. of course, this is coming during their eid al fitr holiday on friday evening. this is a time after the sun goes down that you see shoppers packing these markets, families going out to start their celebration for eid. the temperatures in iraq rise to more than 120 degrees at this time. so people do their shopping in the evening. the bomber here exploited that knowing that people would be looking for any relief from these high temperatures. and he pretended to be selling them ice at lower rates than the market. he managed to lure hundreds of people over to buy this ice, detonating that large amount of explosive that left that big crater and took the lives of at least 120 people and left 140 wounded, many of them children and of course civilians in this case. it's the kind of attack that's very reminiscent of what we used to see in iraq during what used
4:19 am
to be described as the dark days of violence there, the sectarian bloodshed of 2005-2007. and while isis over the past year has carried out so many atrocities, mass killings, executions, this kind of spectacular high profile attack for many is a real concern now that we might be seeing a different kind of tactic. especially in a province only recently liberated from isis. >> thank you so much for the details. appreciate it. we've got the latest on those raging wildfires in california. this was breaking news throughout the day yesterday. and now new developments on getting these fires under control. are they at least halfway there? plus, how much help did "el chapo" get to escape a mexican prison. how involved me may have been in planning his own breakout.

he's not a war hero. >> he is a war hero. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. >> are those the words that could derail donald trump's bid for the white house? take a look at the front page of the new york post this morning if you haven't seen it already. there's the headline don voyage. the fallout continues after the presidential candidate made those comments during a summit in iowa. >> the republican national committee has gone as far as to say that the comments have no place in their party. joining us now with more on the fallout is cnn's mark preston. before i get to you, i've got to

read a tweet from trump that he sent out since we've been on air. he says here john mccain called thousands of people crazies when they came to seek help on illegal immigration in phoenix. he owes apology. is that going to work? >> no, it's absolutely not going to work. it's going to work with a certain segment of the population, a certain segment of the supports backing donald trump. but we clearly now have an indication that donald trump is not going to back down. to set the table for those who haven't heard much about this controversy, i'd be surprised if you haven't, because it really has over taken the political world. here in iowa at a meeting of social conservatives went directly at john mccain calling his patriotism into question. this is what donald trump had to
4:30 am
say about john mccain. >> he is not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, okay? i hate to tell you. he's a war hero because he was captured, okay? and i believe perhaps he's a war hero. >> and there you have donald trump there criticizing john mccain, which as you had said at the outset, victor, has drown a lot of anger from democrats and republicans across the country. donald trump to show the seesaw of where he's going on this, he came back and tried to clean it up a short time afterwards. >> if a person is captured, they're a hero as far as i'm concerned, unless they're a traitor like bergdahl. he's no hero. i don't like the job that john mccain is doing in the senate because he's not taking care of our veterans.
4:31 am
>> and there you have donald trump just moments after he initially had criticized john mccain. as you said, just in the past hour, victor, appears donald trump is doubling down, tripling down on his criticism of john mccain. >> it took some of these competitors a week, two weeks, some more to respond to his comments on mexicans who are coming into the u.s. but it took them no time to respond to this. let's listen. >> as an individual who has worn the uniform of this country, i was highly offended by what donald trump said about john mccain and his years of sacrifice in a dirty, dingy, terrible prison in north vietnam. donald trump owes every american veteran and in particular john mccain an apology. >> he crossed a line today that will offend most everyone that i
4:32 am
know. and in my view, the democratic process is going to lead to him hearing what he is so fond of saying, you're fired. >> let's bring in ben ferguson. ben, we heard from governor perry, senator graham there. but you want you to hear from dr. ben carson. because although those two candidates reputuated whreputua said this is what he said. >> is senator john mccain a war hero? >> it depends on your definition of a war hero. i think he has done some wonderful things, certainly the history is consistent with what we would consider a war hero. do we take that away from him because some people disagree with him politically?
4:33 am
i think that's probably a stupid way to do things. in your definition, is he a war hero? >> i believe senator mccain has done some wonderful things. >> so i wonder is this a major portion or even a sizable majority in the republican party for whom this is an arguable point, that he is or is not a war hero? >> it's not an arguable point. i think you have politicians so careful they don't want to over step. the question to is john mccain a war hero, the answer is yes. he was tortured and could have even gotten out early but chose not to so the other side didn't get leverage. that is a hero. anyone captured by the enemy and held under these conditions and tortured is a war hero. if john mccain's not a war hero, then who is? i think it was incredibly
4:34 am
insulting of donald trump to say this. this is exactly what i expect from donald trump. he is a loaded gun. he doesn't know what he's going to say when he goes out on stage. it also is exactly what happened with the illegal immigration conversation. donald trump didn't plan that. he stumbled into it and then doubled down. i guess he thought well i'll do the exact same thing here and somehow my rates will go up. you're going to see this is going to have a serious negative impact on his campaign, his brand. and it also reminds people who donald trump really is. he's a reality tv star, not a serious candidate for the presidency. >> ben, i wonder -- you say that he stumbled into that. i wonder if the other campaigns are stumbling on how to respond, because it took jeb bush more than two weeks to give a serious answer after that comment about mexicans. why are we seeing this response to this and not the response so quickly to the comments about
4:35 am
mexicans? >> you know, i think first all the campaigns were kind of united in strategy with donald trump. don't acknowledge his existence and he'll just go away. when they realized he wasn't going away and he started actually doing his campaign finance and filing papers and attacking them and seeing he was being a blunt talker, filling that void in this campaign, they were forced into acknowledging his existence. this one was totally different. it's a no-brainer. you don't attack someone who's been held by an enemy and tortured the way that john mccain was. it was very simple. when he messes up we now have to acknowledge it . and you don't lose ongoing after him right now and condemning these comments as you saw most of the candidates doing. they want to get rid of donald trump more than anybody else and all of them agree on that. >> mark, any indication that we're going to hear an apology from donald trump?
4:36 am
>> no, i don't think so. i mean, look, he's already been on social media this morning saying that john mccain needs to apologize to all the folks that were in phoenix last week seeing donald trump talk about illegal immigration. john mccain described them es a crazies. i have to tell you, when you talk about what's going to happen to this race and donald trump, you look at the front page of des moines register just this morning, stripped across the top it says trump's comments could change the state of the race. donald trump is polling in the poll position right now when it comes to this race, victor. who knows what's going to happen next week. >> i can promise you one thing. donald trump does not apologize. and he won't during this campaign. >> when i said it, i'm sure you heard a bit of a chuckle because i don't think i've ever heard it. thank you both. and of course we want for you at home to weigh in on this. is this, do you believe, the turning point for donald trump's

look for a motive behind the shooting of mohammad youssuf abdulazeez's horrible attack, some states are increasing security at military recruitment centers and even arming qualified guard members. i want to bring in cnn correspondent sarah ganim. sarah, what have you heard about what states are doing to try to keep these facilities protected? >> reporter: good morning. as grief here turns to calls for action across the country, several states changing their rules on how national guard recruiting offices like this one here are kept secure. another victim, petit officer randall smith's name is added to this make shiftd mshift memoria the recruiting office where there was a deadly shooting spree on thursday.
4:42 am
he was the fifth to die at the hands of gunman mohammad youssuf abdulazeez. investigators are still trying to find a motive. the shooter's recent trip to the middle east raising concerns of a connection to terror groups. isis and other organizations have long called for attacks on military organizations like these, according to analysts. >> the military is the most high value target for isis. going after military targets in the u.s. homeland, they want nothing more than that. >> reporter: critics like sergeant alonso lunsford say military sites these these are easy targets because servicemens aren't armed. >> we have to be able to fight with both hands and not one tied behind our back. we have the training to use these weapons because we use them in the the theater of war. it's obvious that the war is now on our home soil. >> reporter: four marines were shot and killed at this
4:43 am
recruiting office where bullet holes riddled the doors but nobody was hurt. a veteran who often works with recruiters in this offense said he believes the shooting could have stopped if -- if anybody was armed, what kind of difference do you think that would have made? >> they would have been able to low crawl out the back door and come around and flank the parking lot and able to handle the situation. >> reporter: so you think they would have been able to stop him here before he got anywhere else? >> yes. that's what we're trained to do, to defend. >> reporter: if you had the proper tools. >> reporter: if you had the proper tools, yes. >> reporter: the shooting has prompted officials in several states to call for recruiting offices like this one to be armed. indiana, texas and florida governors issued orders for more security and armed personnel at national guard recruitment centers. new york, alabama and illinois
4:44 am
also stepping up security. now, important to remember that those executive orders in most cases would apply to only national guard offices like this one and not to those federal service centers like with the one where those five servicemen died. >> let's talk to lieutenant colonel bob mcginnis about this. let's say you've got somebody standing outside of a recruitment center, they are armed. would that in any way make a difference, do you think, to what happens in front of or inside that office? >> well, that could be a deterrent. also it could prevent people to people you want to at tatract inside that door to come in. we're an all volunteer military.
4:45 am
only 25% of young people qualify. it's a very tight line that we're walking here. >> well, florida governor rick scott used this and we talked about it today, that some states are thinking about this and they want to arm qualified guard members. what would qualify a guard member? >> well, you have to be proficient with an individual weapon. you have to know, you know, the rules of engagement, when you can use that particular weapon. it becomes very complicated because they become almost like a police on the beat, you know, trying to defend their particular establishment. so it's going to create logistics issues, security issues, obviously proficiency issues. as the interview said earlier, we do give these people weapons when they go into a combat zone.
4:46 am
i can really see that perhaps a small number of people ought to be armed just to protect us because the war has come to our homeland. >> real quickly, the revelation this morning f ing by the shoot family that mohammad youssuf abdulazeez had aggression. the majority of people who suffer depression do not do what he did. they do not act out in violence. what do you say to that? >> there are a lot of issues. it's a complex case. depression could be a role. but clearly his travels elsewhere, his potential, you know, radicalization, those have to be resolved and i think they will in time. so in the next hour, were there red flags in the days, maybe months leading up to that deadly shooting in chattanooga.
4:47 am
what clues could have tipped off police before this happened? we're talking to an fbi profiler ahead on "new day." plus "el chapo" still on the loose. looks like this drug lord could have had a high-tech device to help him plot his escape. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection, or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. side effects may include diarrhea,

mexican investigators are chasing what they describe as their strongest lead yet in the el chapo investigation. they're questioning the supervisor of the maximum

security prison where joaquin guzman escaped from last weekend. the supervisor had a floor plan and investigators think he might have given unauthorized access to someone before the prison break. cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes is back with us now. the prison supervisor, he may be the strongest lead yet but i guess even if he were involved it wouldn't have been smart, it would have not have behooved el chapo or his people to tell them where he is right now. right? >> well, someone had to, you know, help the people that built that tunnel. it was professionally engineered. professionally constructed. it was built one mile in length underground and miraculously came up within a few feet of his shower stall. so that would have taken somebody in possession of the actual not only the plans for the prison, but the exact location of his cell. >> or maybe, you know, we know that there were two blind spots from the surveillance cameras, the shower and the toilet. i mean it would not surprise me

to know that they've had someone actually move those cameras to create those blind spots. how about you? >> well, that could be also that the cameras were aligned that way. but the idea of tunnelling 30 feet under the prison, and then going laterally one mile and then coming up exactly -- my point, exactly into that blind spot, in his shower stall, that's not an accident. it's not dumb luck. somebody helped them. many somebodies helped this entire project be successful. >> so, there have been seven prison employees charged in this escape. christi and i were having this conversation a little earlier about a possible defense. i mean we know what the cartel has done to people -- to its enemies. and is there a possible defense in so far that essentially i did this because he threatened my family's lives? and you pair that with the obvious inability of the mexican
4:53 am
officials to protect their employees. >> i think both could be true. and the fact is that these are not idle threats made by cartel leaders, including el chapo. what they do to law enforcement, journalists, prince officials to their families is horrific. it's a kind of terrorism, particularly, you know, we should know in the united states that more than 100,000 people have been murdered in mexico in the last eight or nine years by members of the cartel. and they're not all drug dealers. they are innocent people, including political figures, journalists, and law enforcement officials. and the manner of death that's inflicted on their families is horrific. so, you know, i don't want to go into every detail of it. i've seen the crime scene photos when i was still in the fbi and overseeing operations in mexico. and it's horrible. when a prison official or law enforcement officer is shown pictures of his own family and
4:54 am
told you may not want to come to work tomorrow, you may not want to get in the middle of this, they often don't. and it's not because they're greedy and want to take bribes and they're all immoral. it's because their families will be murdered. >> yeah. tom fuentes, he's been out for a week now, the first time around he was gone for more than a decade. all right. we'll see when this wraps up. tom fuentes, thanks. >> you're welcome. >> well, bill cosby is back in the news. and listen to this report. that reveals really disturbing new details about sex, and the use of drugs, that the comedian contends were consensual. excerpts of what he said in his own words ahead. plus -- an emotional tribute in green bay before 67,000 football fans in honor of yeah, you saw him there, brett favre.
